Frontman Alex Kapranos said in a statement: "I'm looking forward to Field Day this coming summer. I've been the last couple of years and the line-up's always been excellent. Electrelane playing 'Small Town Boy' and Martin Creed's set were last year's highlights for me.

"This year's line-up is already shaping up well... [and] being in walking distance of a good pub at the end of the night works well for me too."

Field Day is usually held in August, but has been brought forward next year to avoid clashing with the London Olympics. It will now take place on Saturday, June 2.

The Vaccines and Metronomy will also perform at the festival, with further slots confirmed for SBTRKT, Andrew Bird, Beirut, Gold Panda and Hudson Mohawke among others.
